"Oh dear, I got so caught up chatting with you that I forgot about my plan. I was going to invite you for a meal right after you arrived," said Li Ru, her face full of apology, looking truly remorseful.

Ling Zhenfei checked the time and said, "Sister, don't be so formal. I don't like eating out much. How about we just have something simple at home?"

Li Ru, slightly embarrassed, replied, "Ah, really? Maybe we should just order some takeout then. I hope you won't laugh at me, but my cooking really isn't presentable."

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Don't worry; my cooking is decent. How about I take over and cook a few dishes for you to try?"

Surprised, Li Ru said, "You can cook? Really? I must try it then."

Ling Zhenfei laughed again, "Then just watch."

Walking into the kitchen, Ling Zhenfei opened the fridge to check its contents. While Li Ru's culinary skills were lacking, the fridge was surprisingly well-stocked.

After looking through the fridge, Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and then began to prepare.

Li Ru curiously watched his preparation, her eyes filled with amazement. It was clear from his fluid actions that Ling Zhenfei was well-practiced and not just making a last-minute effort.

Ling Zhenfei was completely focused on the cooking and did not notice a woman staring at his profile in fascination.

Ling Zhenfei cooked quickly, even thawing frozen chicken wings rapidly with Northern Spiritual Energy. Within no time, he had prepared four dishes.

Tomato Braised Beef Brisket, Cola Chicken Wings, Stir-fried Kale, and Minced Pork with Cabbage were served, resulting in Li Ru almost drooling, barely believing these dishes were made by the handsome young man before her.

"Sister, don't just stand there dazed; try them."

Li Ru tentatively took a bite, her eyes widening, "Delicious, it's really good; even better than what we get in restaurants."

No longer holding back, Li Ru tasted every dish with her chopsticks.

"Delicious, it's incredible. I haven't had such tasty food in a long time. I'm starting to doubt that you're a doctor at all and not a chef," Li Ru said in disbelief.

Ling Zhenfei smiled lightly and was about to eat when Li Ru stopped him, "Wait a minute, I just remembered we're missing something."

After saying that, Li Ru ran off from her seat. About half a minute later, she returned with a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses.

"It would be a waste to eat such great food without a bit of red wine."

Originally, Ling Zhenfei hadn't planned on drinking, but Li Ru poured him a glass and he couldn't really refuse. They clinked glasses and started drinking.

The two of them ate, talked, and drank wine, enjoying a very pleasant feeling. Ling Zhenfei found that Li Ru was no ordinary woman; she seemed to know something about everything they talked about, showing a wide range of knowledge and unique insights.

The more they talked, the happier they got, and soon the bottle of red wine was empty. Li Ru's cheeks were rosy, looking very beautiful.

While red wine might not feel strong as one drinks it, it certainly has a powerful aftereffect, even more so than beer.

It was clear that Guan Ru wasn't quite satisfied and went to get more red wine, but Ling Zhenfei stopped her.

"It's okay, I can drink one more bottle myself without any issue," he said.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Let's not drink tonight. I came over today because there's some important business, don't tell me you forgot about the phone call you made last time asking me to check your body."

Only then did Li Ru remember and said, "Yes, I almost forgot. Ever since I took the prescription you prepared for me last time, there indeed has been a significant change. The pain inside is gone, it seems completely healed, but..."

"But what?" Ling Zhenfei noticed that Li Ru seemed hesitant to speak.

This time, Li Ru indeed felt a bit embarrassed, but after hesitating for a while, she said, "The thing is, these past few days I suddenly felt an itch inside. I don't know what's happening."

Ling Zhenfei asked Li Ru to sit on the couch, and then he took her hand and began to check her pulse. However, about a minute later, he let go of her hand.

"That's strange, I can't feel anything wrong. The pulse doesn't show it. Could it be a skin issue? Shall I examine you?"

As soon as Ling Zhenfei said this, both of their faces turned awkward. As a male doctor, examining a woman's private area is embarrassing, and it's even more so because they know each other.

Li Ru's face turned red, and she looked at Ling Zhenfei for a while before saying, "Alright then, you're the doctor, so go ahead and examine me."

Ling Zhenfei was also stunned; he didn't expect Li Ru to really agree, and for a moment, he was at a loss.

"What are you waiting for, brother? Go ahead and examine me," Li Ru said to Ling Zhenfei, snapping him back to reality.

Ling Zhenfei cursed himself internally for being unprofessional. How could he be distracted at such a time? Li Ru making such a gesture was enough to show her trust in him, and his previous thoughts were very inappropriate.

"Okay, sister, I'm sorry." Ling Zhenfei moved closer to Li Ru and carefully examined her condition.

Ling Zhenfei had to be very thorough in his examination, but when he gently touched her, Li Ru shivered all over.

"Sister, I don't know if I should ask this question," Ling Zhenfei said hesitantly after completing the examination.

Knowing that Ling Zhenfei had finished examining her, Li Ru slowly brought her legs together, pulled down her skirt, and sat properly.

"You can ask anything you want, there's nothing we can't discuss as siblings."

Ling Zhenfei hesitated and then said, "Sister, I wanted to ask how long has it been since you have been with a man?"

Li Ru's face turned red again, and she felt embarrassed but after thinking a bit, she said, "To be honest with you, brother, since I've been on my own, I haven't been with a man."

Ling Zhenfei quickly shook his head and said, "I will not laugh at you, sister. However, I just examined you, and you are very healthy. The previous inflammation has healed; it's just that you long for a man's love."

"What are you saying, really? That's impossible," Li Ru found it hard to accept this reason.

Ling Zhenfei said very confidently, "I'm a doctor, I wouldn't be mistaken. Sister, you should find someone to love."

"Perhaps you're right, being alone for so long can be really lonely!" As Li Ru spoke, she suddenly began to cry heavily.

When women cry, Ling Zhenfei didn't know what to do; he could only try to comfort Li Ru, but he really didn't know how to console someone.

At that moment, Li Ru suddenly hugged him and then lay on his shoulder, crying very sadly.
